Wisdom teeth: To extract or not? When should you see a dentist immediately?

Wisdom teeth – the name sounds “smart,” but in reality, they are one of the causes of pain, swelling, and serious oral complications if not treated properly.

So, should wisdom teeth be extracted? When should you see a dentist? And does the extraction hurt, how much does it cost, and is it risky?
Da Nang Implant Dental Clinic will answer all your questions in detail in the article below!

1. What are wisdom teeth?

Wisdom teeth (also called third molars) are the last teeth to emerge in the jaw, usually appearing between the ages of 17–25. An adult can have 1 to 4 wisdom teeth, or sometimes none at all.

However, because they erupt last when the jawbone is fully developed, wisdom teeth often don’t have enough space to grow straight, leading to many problems:

• Misaligned or impacted teeth

• Pressing against the adjacent seventh tooth, causing widespread cavities

Should wisdom teeth be extracted?

• Causing pain, pericoronitis, and infection
• Affecting bite, causing jaw misalignment

2. When should wisdom teeth be extracted?

Not all wisdom teeth need to be removed. However, you should consider extraction in the following cases:

Cases where wisdom teeth should be extracted:

• Teeth growing crooked, horizontally, or pressing against neighboring teeth

• Teeth impacted within the gums, causing pain and pericoronitis

• Wisdom teeth causing decay in the 7th tooth

Cases When a Wisdom Tooth Should Be Extracted?

• Appearance of Cysts, Infection Around the Wisdom Tooth
• Lower Wisdom Teeth Causing Difficulty Opening the Mouth, Jaw Swelling
• Affecting Orthodontics (Braces) or Aesthetics

Cases Where the Wisdom Tooth Can Be Kept:

• Straight Teeth That Do Not Obstruct Other Teeth
• No Pain or Infection
• Easy to Clean and No Risk of Complications

However, even if there is no pain, you should still have your wisdom teeth checked every 6 months. Early detection of abnormal signs will help you avoid serious complications.
